Hi all,

I have looked at the orbit 0606 ATS file, IBEX_2023_117_o0606a_v001.scr and I approve.

 

The constraint violations in IBEX_2023_117_o0606a_v001.ccvr are from the removal of the ACT_SetSpinPulseProtectEnable Enable commands. The violations are acceptable.

 

The PL commands in IBEX_2023_117_o0606a_v001.scr match those in the STF, IBEX_2023_117_o0606a_v002.stf.

 

Ascending and descending command sequences are consistent with each other, 15 Re ascending, the apogee maneuver time and 15 Re descending as determined from the OEF, IBEX_2023_117_o0606a_v001.oef and as verified with ibex_orbit.

 

There is 1 star tracker outage this orbit.  It lasts ~33 hours and ends ~36 mins before the perigee maneuver.

 

The ground station command sequences are correct and the timing and bit rates match those in the contacts file, IBEX_Orbit606_Contacts.txt for all contacts (3).

 

Battery Balancing is 90 minutes long, more than 2 hours away from payload descending macros, 13.509 hrs, and more than 15 minutes away from a maneuver, 88 mins.

 

The Inertial maneuver at perigee of orbit 0605 left us pointing in safe directions for the orbit 0606 arc A ascending and descending sequences:

All, 

   Attached are the planning files for Orbit #606 Please respond to this thread with comments and approvals.   

Approvals are required by COB, 17 Apr 2023 

  

Please note the following: 

 

1.       Battery Balancing this orbit 

Begin 2023/05/07 05:30:00– End 2023/05/07 07:00:00 

 

Please note that the battery balancing is not being performed at perigee. The perigee inertial maneuver was moved to around perigee due to a star tracker outage. The battery balancing will now take place at 12re ascending. This is a quiet period in the orbit, post maneuver.
